[tei-council] the release conundrum

[Susan Schreibman]

I agree with so much of what has been said. I think the TEI membership 
would appreciate knowing how things are progressing on P5, and whether 
the types of changes/improvements/ in the last release is worth a 
particular project downloading a new version.

 From a user's perspective, I expect that they would appreciate releases 
less frequently, as been mentioned, every 3-6 months so that they don't 
feel that as soon as they download a new version, another is available. 
Even if nothing much has been changed in a three or four month period, I 
expect the membership would appreciate some sort of update report as to 
what the Council is working on.

I agree totally a new release before the members' meeting would be great.
